Munich Travel and Tourism Guide

Munich is the capital of the German state of Bavaria, and is the third largest city in Germany. The city has a population of around 1.3 million and is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps.

Mostly known for its beers, Munich has also a lot to offer. Just walk on the pedestrian streets filled with small shops and relax in a small cafe. Check out the beautiful Marienplatz. There is lots to see like the Glockenspiel or one of the many churches in the surrounding area. Climb the clock tower of the Old Peter for an amazing view! And don't miss a walk through the Englischer Garten. If you like museums head for the Deutsche Museum or the BMW museum. The Olympia Park is definitely worth a visit too.

Of course, try at least once the ambiance of the Hofbrauhaus, and its one liter mugs!
Munich is also home of the original Oktoberfest, which starts on the third weekend of September and lasts for two weeks. During these two weeks you will see many people wearing the traditional Bavarian dress, "Dirndl" for women and "Lederhosen" for men.
